ambassador john bolton, early morning in los angeles on this sunday. always good for your insight and analysis. thank you, as always. >> thank you, eric. >> jamie. >> thank you, ambassador, as well. there are two cases related to the nsa spying scandal that could be headed to the supreme court because a pair of federal judges handed down opposing rulings on the constitutionality of the agency's phone data collection of millions of americans. one plaintiff tells fox news he plans to high track his case so the high court can make a decision in 2014. this story, peter, is fascinating. two federal judges, two opposing views. >> yeah, jamie, you summed it up right there. the two federal judges who have ruled on the legality of bulk data collection in the last month have two different interpretations of the law. one judge thinks mass surveillance is okay. one does not. so now the plaintiff in the case where the judge thinks collection is not okay says that he wants to settle this once and for all. he's looking ahead in the next year for help from the supreme

bolton's the james wall sees the mike rogers and the general hayden's can't get a drone to shoot him down it's seems he'll seal team six to ferret about so it's a high high ironies here but the fourth amendment could not be clearer and i think judge leon has start. really look at this thing we'll see if we have an independent judiciary now because there are all kinds of imaginative lawyers it is justified this already and will try to could justify you know timothy and i've been reading various reports and no one's really sure but it what's been released so far from mr snowden some have said is less than one percent and i really have to wonder that must keep a lot of people at the n.s.a. up at night because what's going to be next because you know we had we had to you had you know members of the n.s.a. lied to perjure themselves in congress and then something came out oh well we actually do do that eccentric center i just have to wonder you know what the timeframe is going to be because with these recommendations coming out there could be leaks that come out to make all of these recom

john bolton is here. good day to be here. verification is the elephant in the room. explain. >> if you listen to the president, he puts a lot of weight on the ability of somebody to have intrusive inspections and comprehensive verification. and that really is a misplaced trust in the verification. it can't make a bad deal in a new deal. and eliminate ambiguities and defeat a country that is determined to evade the arms control commitment. at best it is a insurance policy. >> what is built into the deal that guarantees verification and gives you a chance at it, anything? >> well, well, it said that the international atomic energy agency will be allowed to visit sites and iran will cooperate. that is all very interesting as to the sites that are declared to the ia ea. and famous iraq heavy water reactor that produces plutonnium. what what is not covered is sites that iran is already enriching uranium and sites that we would like to see where the weaponization work is going and ballistic missile program. >> you conclude the report ronald reagan said trust but verify. an

bolton, ambassador what do you make of the news? as ed pointed out and our viewers know there is a very delicate relationship between us us and libya given the deadly attack that left four americans dead. what does this say to you tonight? with what limited facts we know? >> the white house allowed to come into power after the overthrow of ghadaffy. if there is a conscious decision to detain four americans perhaps as ed says, security guards that is going to cause trouble for the administration and efforts to have the government of libya extend controls over the rest of the country which degenerated into terror camps this could be a mistake by a local police official. it could be marines were having pops who knows at this point? i can understand why there is concern in washington that if this is not handled correctly it could be a major problem for the united states on the ground in libya. >> all right. we'll keep an eye on that and as we get more news, of course we'll update it. also developing news from the middle east as iran's n

john bolton, former ambassador to the u.n., fox news contributor and senior fellow at the american enterprise institute joins as he does almost every sunday. good morning. >> glad to be with you. >> tehran is doing their own game. we're going to talk, won't talk, going to talk, won't talk unless we get what we want. is that what they do? >> yeah, and it's a classic example of how they negotiate their advr saer sarsaries. they brelame the break down on foreign people. they announce negotiations will resume on facebook, isn't that sweet? it shows the charm offensive at work. what they're doing is leading to confusion in the west and europe in particular. what's on, what has the six-month clock started. are the sanctions released? what is iran doing on the nuclear program itself? all of which is left in confusion, which allows the net net is that iran continues to work on its nuclear weapons program. >> the talks have been continuing and then the u.s. imposes new sanctions on weapons of mass destruction material and this sort of thing. should we be that tough or treat them with kid gloves? >> i

i don't know what other proof you need really. >> john bolton, thank you. this story will continue to be a focus of a lot of debate. thank you for your time and happy new year to you. >> happy new year to you. >>> another deadly attack to tell you about shocking one russian city this morning. a homicide bomber detonating a vest inside a trolley. it's about 550 miles south of moscow where it happened and it killed 14 people. this is the second attack there in as many days. there was another bomb that exploded on a busy train and station yesterday killing at least 17 wounding dozens of others. all of this violence understandably raising security concerns ahead of february's winter olympics a few hundred miles south in sochi. now, no group has claimed responsibility, but chechen rebel leaders have called for an increase in attacks ahead of those games. >> now to brand new developments and obamacare the woman who oversaw the glitchy website takes retirement. comes at a last-minute surge push still far short of a lot of predictions we were given from the white h

ambassador john bolton, fox news contributor, joins us now, as he does every sunday about this time. good morning, ambassador. >> good morning, >> if iran violates the deal, they could face new sanctions, but isn't that a given? and the president refuses to sign this. >> the administration has said if at some undefined point, iran doesn't comply with the geneva deal or a subsequent deal, sanctions would be reimposed, but that threat has never carried much weight. iran's leaders understand both in europe and the united states, they passed a critical point. that's why geneva was such a big victory for them. once the sanctions come down, hard to torque them back up, which is why the bill under consideration in congress is so significant. and why obama is so sensitive to it, but i think what this proves, again, is the underlying correctness of the strategy of iran's negotiators. they see a weak president desperate for a deal, and they played on that very successfully these last several months. >> we heard jay carney say that obama is, quote, the most aggressive president in dealing with

john bolton, senior fellow at the international enterprise joins us as he does at this time. good to see you. the president puts the chances of the deal working at 50/50. what odds do you lay on it? >> i think the chances of it having any real effect on iran's nuclear weapons program are zero. what iran wanted and what it got was relief from the economic sanctions. it's true the sanctions brought iran to the table. but not to talk aboutilities nuclear weapons program. to talk about getting relief from the sanctions. which they have gotten and which they will exploit. i actually think iran should take advantage of the opening they've got, and i would press ahead with more negotiations quickly. i wouldn't slow roll this. i think they split europe from the united states. i would make that split permanent and drive a truck through the loop holes in the agreement. >> they have decreased the enrichment down from 20% to 5%. is that progress? >> no, the 20% figure is a complete red herring. when you enrich to reactor grade levels, 3% to 5%, you're already 70% of the way toward weapon

john bolton is overseas and sir, thank you for spending part of your trip with us now. what about the insurance policy? >> the sanctions are not an insurance policy. they are a good idea and anything that puts pressure on the regime in terrain is a good idea. they did not slow down the nuclear weapon's program and imposed pain on the middle-class. we are kidding ourselves if we think it will stop the nuclear program. indeed as they talk about increasing the sanctions, companies in europe are signing deals with iran and the sanctions are crumbling bus of this deal. >> did they think they would come out with this request so quickly? >> build more plants. >> they have talked about building more nuclear plants for ten years. if they are building more nuclear power plants they need more enrichment capabilities. and it is a justification not only to continue in enriching. but to expand. at the height of our leverage. not a single center refuge manteled or is this deal done for six months. . i think in the senate there will be pressure. but every sign from the administration i

ambassador john bolton is here with his thoughts coming up. >> hi, ambassador. good to see you. jon: right now a federal grand jury announcing charges against the gunman accused of last month's deadly rampage at los angeles international airport. arthel neville is live for us at the breaking news desk. >> reporter: hi, jon. 23-year-old paul anthony see ahn seia, is charged with the murder of gerardo hernandez and attempted murder of two other tsa agents and a passenger. all who were wounded. this is the 39-year-old geraldo hernandez seen in the photo. each of the charges carries the possibility of a death penalty or life in federal prison. federal prosecutors have not decided whether they will seek the death penalty should ciancia be convicted. let me read part of the his 15-page indictment. it alleges that he committed the offense after substantial planning and premeditation to cause the death of a person and commit a act of terrorism. the indictment also reads that ciancia faces three counts that he did knowingly carry, brandish, discharge and use a firearm when he allegedly s

ambassador to the united nations and fox news contributor john bolton. what do you make of the news? as ed pointed out there is a delicate relationship now between the u.s. and libya given the attack in benghazi that left four americans dead. what does this say to you tonight with the limited facts we know? >> delicate as well. this is the government that when the white house agreed to come into power after the overthrow of gadhafi. if this incident really is a conscious decision by the government to detain them, marine security guards. that will cause trouble for the administration in our efforts the to have libya extend control over the rest of the country which generated and the terrorist camp affiliates and the like. this could be a mistake by local police officials. it could be the marines were having a few pops. who knows at this point. i can understand why there is concern in washington that if this is not handled it could be a major problem for the united states on the ground in libya. >> we will definitely follow up on this and keep the viewers

john bolton, thank you, sir. bill: should be rather revealing. the president's tax man is heading to the hill, the hot seat in store for the president's pick to lead the irs as he faces a tough nomination test there. >>> plus, there's a follow on this -- [gunfire] martha: wow. hear the screens inside the minivan, a video that shocked the country, a state trooper shooting at a minivan that was filled with kids. now he's fighting to get his job back. hear what his attorney says about this whole thing. [gunfire] bill: all right, fox news alert now, our colleague at foxnews.com, reporter jana winter, will not return to colorado to testify. you might recall she had been ordered to reveal sources for a bombshell story after the movie theater shooting in aurora, colorado, two summers ago. senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano to analyze this. good day to you. were you surprised that it went this way? >> yes, i was very surprised. you know, i consulted with jana. she is our friend and our colleague, and in my view, she was on the right side of

bolton. good evening, ambassador. >> glad to be with you. >> all right. what do you think about this apology apologizing? >> well, i think you're right on target. it's embarrassing to have the secretary of state apologize. but, you know, jean kirkpatrick put her finger on this phenomenon. she said there's a group of people, she called them the san francisco democrats because that's where they had their convention in 1984, the san francisco democrats she said always blame america first. and that's what john kerry did. look, i have had experiences in my own career with foreign diplomats abusing their servants and some prosecuted, some simply expelled. this is a charge with a lot in back of it and you were right to say the indian diplomat not treated any differently than any other american citizen. if i had heard an allegation she was treated worse, i would be prepared to listen. what she is really saying is i don't want to be put in the same procedure with all of these mere americans. i'm a dip

his codename was john bolton &. so they gave up west point and don't pretend to put up a fight but in the end we overrun and it looks like taken captive, the hudson belongs to the british and it is over. there is also a school of thought and it seems logical but only do they want to give away west point and pretend like they didn't want to but they wanted to hand over washington as well. from the guy that got the commission that he always wanted and the respect. >> host: so they could get the commander-in-chief and hand over the key to the hudson river. >> guest: and the number one most fortified base in the country. so they get supported. but they knew that it was a general in the midst looking to switch sides and we believed that 355 at the most able to play in that and infiltrated the social service during andrzej talking had a big mouth and like to drink. they do something was going on. talmage was patrolling that area and they ended up intercepting pager on major andre to turn over west point. then he gets stop

john bolton is spend something time this week in london. with this part of the deal, why does it want more nuclear power plants? >> this is something iran has been saying for 10 years. the idea is it's part of the just justification for why they need an extensive uranium enrichment capability. if they build another dozen nuclear power plants they have to have enriched uranium fuel for it. by saying they will go ahead with these plans they are laying the ground work'only not to cut back the uranium enrichment capability they have but to expand it. and that obviously leaves them in a very, very substantial way much closer to being able to take uranium that's been enriched to reactor grade and enrich it the next couple steps up to weapons grade. bill: do you know in the deal we did with iran the last 10 days whether the united states can prevent iran from building a nuclear power plant? >> no, absolutely not. it come templates in two separate references in what's called the joint plan of action signed in geneva that all of the parties includin

former un ambassador john bolton and joining us with the insights. great to have you here today. nglad to be with you. >> folks are wondering why now? taking the step now to throw people in jail and directly take aim at the muslim brother hod? >> i think it is a systemic by the military government to turn the brotherhood from an open population organization and what they declared it to be a terrorist organization and facilitates the impression of the brotherhood. the brother hod assassinated anwar sada t. it is the ejepgz military has tested whether they think it will be popular support for this. those attacks on the police stations and coptic christian churches and others leave it impossible for foreign investment. >> the brother boasts a million people in the world who are members of the organization. and it is considered one of the better run organizations of that kind to date. and yet, a lot of people within egypt are saying that the brotherhood brought about a lot of positive changes in the past apart from terrorist activities and people are feeling uneasy. >> this is a situ

but let's ask john bolton. >> i think this debate is very unbalanced. the critics of what the nsa is doing can make wild allegations. edward snowden released limited information on what the nsa can do. the nsa says everything it does is highly classified so the alarmists and the fears get out in front of the reality. this panel plays a certain purpose. there is no evidence of sanctioned abuse. there is nothing the workers did that violate any order they were given. if you had evidence of abuse that would be one thing. but there is no evidence of abuse. gregg: let me bring into that point a couple other people and the panel itself. for example, federal judge richard leon, aa republican appointee. he said it's likely unconstitutional, quote, surely such a program infringes on that degree of privacy that the founder enshrined in the amendment. now, juks a posed the president's panel which has some prominent law professors on it. they stated we have not uncovered any official efforts to suppress or intrude into people's private lives without legal justifica

john bolton who was in charge of nonproliferation, state department, went about leaking information that the north koreans might have a secret program to enrich uranium and there was a confrontation in 2002, and low and behold the north koreans admitted they were indeed investigating and richmond and the whole deal fell apart. the north koreans left v. npt, building reactor and tested weapons. there were other agreements wert were reached with the north koreans. in 2005 there was an agreement that was reached with the north koreans that broke and this is certainly true. the nature of that agreement is that they would stop on the plutonium reactor that they wouldn't go down the uranium enrichment path and in return they would get serious concessions. they are different deals. yes of course the regimes are different so this is important. north korea is a bizarre proprietary dictatorship that relies almost entirely on support from one country, china. into the food aid that it has been able to teach out of the united states and other countries and the un over the years. that is north korea.
